QTH.COM Swap Chat

I recently received an inquiry from a person masquerading as "Curtis J Bisesi" using an email address of "hdisme455@gmail.com" and call sign K6CTA regarding a radio I have for sale. The inquiries were peculiar from the start. Once this person asked me to send a photo of the radio including in the photo a piece of paper with HIS call sign on it I knew it was an attempted scam.
Looking on the scammer alert page of QRZ.com, I learned that this scam has been going on for a few years.
Beware of anyone using the alias "Curtis J Bisesi <hdisme455@gmail.com>" in conjunction with call sign K6CTA. K6CTA isn't this person's call sign. This person IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

I received a email from this person but he used the call K2WOP, just thought I would add this into the mix

He started contacting me 4/3/17 to my (very old) listing for an IC-718. First email said "I will buy it . Where do i send payment ?". Email 4/4 said: Here is an attached photo of what i want .

qrzlogins.nut.cc and QRZ.com are probably not the same place, and .htm is not an image - ya think?

Had the same inquiry here about a radio I have for sale. Using same name and email but using no call sign. 4/3/17.

Yes Beware, he sends a link, probably infested with his BS. I would NOT open it if I were you.

same MO, I will buy it, where do I send the money,

This individual contacted me after I posted a wanted ad for a radio. Something told me to take a look at the scammers forum and there he was at the top of the list. Thanks QTH for saving me some money and grief.

This guy is still around! I posted a reply to a sell about a YAESU G-450A Rotor & Control Box, from a guy in Spokane and a few hours later this guy send me a e-mail offering me used in good condition YAESU G-450A Rotor & Control Box for $200.00. So keep your guard up guys. Here's what he sent me;

Looks like this fellow is at it again. Now using the call k2wop. This call is registered to a Curtis J Bisesi on the QRZ/FCC database. However, there is no associated email with the record. The fellow that answered my want is using the hdisme455@gmail.com.

K6CTA Scam still ongoing. Rcvd a bogus response to an item for sale via Eham. Used K6CTA callsign and the usual email noted herein. Just be aware.
